Tho Newspaper Ftand Has Chat With
the Much Talked OF Woman.
San Francisco, CAL, June l.-Since
the fact Of the whereabouts Of the now
widely notorious William KisEane, alias
William K. Rogers, was made known two
days-a ago, newspaper men have visited his
ranch, three miles from S0noma. The house
of Kissane is of stone with broad varan-
das. At his home are his wife and grown
daughter. To reporter to-day the wife
of Kissane said: General Francis DGrr
Ito whom is asCribed the opening OF
Kssane's eastern Cgreer) had made an ex-
pOsure owing TO kisSane's failure to pay
$50, 600 on an account of the
Chemical Bank OF New York Since
the suit had actually been commenced,
the amount has dropped 70 $4,000. Mrs.
Rogers says General DaTr and wife had
visited them at their house prior to the
publication of the details % her husbands
supposed career. She claims TO have
taken an inventory OF their effects, but
had expressed only the most friendly per-
sonal regard
Mrs. Rogers was asked how she
thought the affair would end. l know
how it would have ended long ago if l
had not implored my husband, for my
sake and the sake of our children, to
leave the punishment Of Darr's malice TO
some other hand thsn his, she replied. 1t
is well for General Darr that Colonel
Rogers has family around him or long
before this he would have had to settle
with the man whom he has pursued like
q fiend for no cause that We can imagine
except the desire TO extort money. She
said her husband would defend the mat
ter in the courts.

Miss Ellen Callehan of Sierra valley
sold to James Miller last week forty-six
head of beef cattle at 81 cents pound.
This is the highest price paid in this
valley in two years for beef cattle. Miss
CaIlehan received S2,3I2.75 for her cat
tie, and has band still growing. Some
twelve or fifteen years ago her brother
died and left her two good ranches and
band of cattle and horses Since
then she has managed the ranches
and stock herself as sole proprietor
She is noted character here for her
peculiar manner in attending to her
household affairs as well as caring for her
stock and gathering in her large crop of
hay, etc, all of which she personally
superintends. She can harness q team,
break wild horses, run mower or do
anything of the work OF q rance. She
shows great charity for stock, as often
she has been known to take young
calves, colts, chickens and ducks into the
kitchen to save them from the inclemeucy
OF the weather for several weeks at
time. She would make a good match in

opinion that none others need apply.
Dudes would not, we believe, be noticed
as candidates for the matrimonial hand of
Miss Csllehan. She lives alone in her
ga-lory, and appears to enjoy herself both
indoors and out, especially when driving
8 psir of her Unbittable steeds, over
which she holds the reinsi in q manner
peculiar to herself. She values her
property at $4,000. Her age we dc not
know, and should not mention if we did.
